Wale Ojo, the British-Nigerian actor, has begun his second directorial project, titled ‘This Is Not A Nollywood Movie’.
The star announced the new movie on his Instagram page. The 55-year-old film star also gave fans an idea of what to expect from the production.
“Don’t be fooled by the title, it’s tongue-in-cheek, it’s all about laughs cos I believe laughter is an orgasm of the heart and that is the purpose and the aim of this film,” he said.
He accompanied the video with a caption, describing the movie as a “satirical film” that “promises joy and laughter”.
“Presenting my second directorial feature, This Is Not A Nollywood Movie. This satirical film is an explosive comedy that promises its way to your hearts through joy and laughter,” he wrote.
The film stars Broda Shaggi, Hanks Anuku, and Ghana’s Shatta Bandle.
At the age of eight, Ojo was already acting alongside experienced performers. He eventually relocated to England with his family.
Ojo’s breakout part came in the 1995 film ‘The Hard Case’.
Since then, he has been in various Nollywood and British projects, including ‘Phone Swap’, ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’, and Apple TV’s ‘Foundation’.
Ojo’s first acting win came in 2012 from the Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
The star of ‘The Breath of Life’ earned the ‘Best Actor’ title at the 2024 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice title (AMVCA).
